Burnout & Fatigue Assessment (Copenhagen Inventory Original)
The Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI) is an internationally validated measure of fatigue and exhaustion. Unlike simplistic questionnaires, the CBI evaluates physical, emotional, and cognitive fatigue using standardized frequency options: Never/Almost Never, Seldom, Sometimes, Often, and Always.

Dimensions & Traits Evaluated
Our instrument measures variance across the following empirically validated psychological dimensions:
Overall state of physical and emotional exhaustion irrespective of occupational status.
Low fatigue: Wakes up refreshed; possesses ample stamina for daily activities.
Moderate fatigue: Experiences ordinary fatigue after busy days, but restores well with rest.
High fatigue: Persistent exhaustion; feels depleted even following sleep.
Degree of exhaustion and emotional depletion specifically connected with your daily work.
Low work strain: Finds work engaging or manageable; ends the day with leftover energy.
Moderate work strain: Has demanding days but maintains healthy detachment.
High work strain: Finds working hours deeply draining; feels exhausted before the day starts.
Scientific Background & Psychometric Validity
Developed by Danish occupational health researchers, the CBI focuses on the core physical and psychological fatigue that characterizes exhaustion.
The scale distinguishes between personal fatigue (general physical stamina) and work-related fatigue (exhaustion specifically attributable to daily occupational demands).
This assessment uses the authentic CBI item phrasing and standard 5-point frequency scaling.
Who Should Take This Assessment
Anyone experiencing fatigue, demanding workloads, or seeking to evaluate their everyday energy balance
Assessment Instructions
